African Christians Are Taking the Gospel Back to the West
For generations, Christian missionaries mainly travelled from Europe and North America to Africa. Now, African pastors and mission groups are increasingly sending missionaries to Europe, North America, Asia and other African countries. Nigerian pastor Jerry Eze says the growth of African Christianity, marked by fervent prayer and belief in miracles, is driving this shift. His prayer gathering at Twickenham drew a huge crowd, while he prepares for another major conference in Manchester. Data cited in the report shows Christianity declining across much of Europe and North America while the Christian population in sub-Saharan Africa continues to grow. African mission leaders say their aim is not simply to create diaspora churches, but to share their faith across host communities while confronting the colonial baggage associated with earlier missionary work.
